Teac DV-516E supports 48X CAV CD-R reading speed. The drive almost
reached that speed by the end of the reading process, and gave an average reading
speed of 36.30X. In the same test, Asus E616 was slightly faster with 37.17X
average.

Teac reports that the drive supports 85 msec medium access time for both
CD and DVD-ROM. The seek time we measured is 83 msec for the random stroke,
94 msec for the 1/3 and 155 msec for the full stroke. The drive seems to have
a precise and fast mechanism and is the faster in the test, with a small difference
in the Full seek mode.
